    I always suspect people who post posts like this are neither eating enough nor being patient enough.


    Edit: Your ticker says you've lost 4 pounds -- how is that not results? :smile:

    dont get to upset, the same thing just happen this morning until i took my measurements and lost inches in my waist and hips. plus I had water weight gain for my monthly and to much sodium. so i had gained weight and didnt realize it. so my weight from last week didnt move but my inches went down in the 4 days i up my exercise. It will come off give it another week. also check your measurement.

    hang it there!!!

    Your profile shows you have lost 4 pounds, and you just joined this month. Four pounds is good!

    In a previous response you said you were at this for 2 weeks, 4 pounds in 2 weeks is good, that is 2 pounds per week, which is probably what your goal is set at, so what results were you hoping for with a goal of 2 pounds per week??

    This is why I don't use the message boards...I just happened to check them out of curiosity. Why do all of these reponses sound so snarky?

    I guess it's all in the tone that you read them in. I dont find these comments to be snarky.

    1-2 lbs a week is pretty avarage.
    I guess what were you expecting to lose per week? You need to keep in mind that this is a healthy way to lose the weight.
    I joined the site to get over my plateau. It works.

    You've lost 4 lbs! That's good and you should be happy about that!

    I think you may be mistaking facts and opinions as being "snarky", it can be quite difficult to tell the tone of a message when it is written, but you don't have to jump to the most negative conclusion. Some of the responses I thought were trying to encourage and say she was doing good, how is that "snarky"?

    I think that this is a rather interesting case of communication problems that occur over the Internet. Perhaps if all of the posters supplemented their comments with smiley faces (e.g., :smile: :bigsmile: ) and lots of "lols" and "hahaha!!" you wouldn't jump to the conclusion that there were "snarky" undertones in the messages... heheh =)

    They aren't snarky, they are just stating the obvious, that she is doing fantastic. It is just hard for all of us to put things into perspective since we are wanting results yesterday.

    4 pounds is a great start, you have got to remember you did not gain the weight in one day and you will not lose it all in one day. Stick with it, you are doing good so far. I have not looked at your profile and food intake, but what you are doing so far is working. Keep at it. It also is trial and error on everyone's part. You will find what works for you best and what doesn't. We are all here to help you in any way we can. Ask lots of questions and I know that someone here will have an answer for you.

    I wish you the best of luck in your journey to a happier and healthier lifestyle. :bigsmile:

    I love the boards and haven't had an encounter of anyone not being positive, or trying to help. It's hard to get a tone across to someone on the computer, but if you give it a shot I promise you'll love it. These people are great and are full of so much experience and valuable information. I think the boards really motivate and jumpstart your success :) Give us a chance

    I just wanted to tell you that when I started this, the first two weeks I lost 3 lbs a week so I lost 6 lbs and then these last 2.5 has taken me a month to get off. Stick with it and just keep striving for one number more and one number more and before you know it they add up to be your goal! :)<3
